2 TRAINING DELIVERY
Oral questioning
Oral questioning
The delivery of training should adhere to the design of the curriculum.

Delivery should be guided by the 10 basic principles of competency-based TVET:
The training is based on curriculum developed from the

competency standards;
Learning is modular in its structure;
Training delivery is learner-centered and should accommodate
individualized and self-paced learning strategies;
Training is based on work that must be performed;
Training materials are directly related to the competency standards
and the curriculum modules;
Assessment is based in the collection of evidence of the
performance of work to the industry required standard;
Training is based both on and off-the-job components;
Training program allows for recognition of prior learning (RPL) or

current competencies;
Training allows for multiple entry and exit; and
Training programs are registered with the UTPRAS.
The competency-based TVET system recognizes various types of delivery

modes, both on and off-the-job as long as the learning is driven by the competency
standards specified by the industry. The following training modalities may be
adopted when designing training programs:
The dualized mode of training delivery is preferred and

recommended. Thus programs would contain both in-school and
in-industry training or fieldwork components. Details can be
referred to the Dual Training System (DTS) Implementing Rules
and Regulations.
Modular/self-paced learning is a competency-based training
modality wherein the trainee is allowed to progress at his own
pace. The trainer facilitates the training delivery
Peer teaching/mentoring is a training modality wherein fast
learners are given the opportunity to assist the slow learners.
Supervised industry training or on-the-job training is an approach
in training designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of the
trainee through actual experience in the workplace to acquire
specific competencies prescribed in the training regulations.
Distance learning is a formal education process in which majority
of the instruction occurs when the students and instructor are not
in the same place. Distance learning may employ correspondence

study, or audio, video or computer technologies.
Project-Based Instruction is an authentic instructional model or
strategy in which students plan, implement and evaluate projects
that have real world applications.
3 TRAINEE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
